Ediciones Poligrafa (Man Ray)

Ediciones Poligrafa is a book by the Photographer Man Ray, the book talks about Man Ray and his place in the Twentieth-Century Art world. This book has alot of information about the life of Man Ray, it goes through a kind of timeline of his life, starting at 1890 when he was born to his death in 1976. This is good because it gives people a real understanding of what he has done through his life and where he started out.

There is an article on his place in Twentieth-Century Art. Man Ray says 'i paint what cannot be photographed and i photograph what i dont want to paint'. I like this because true to his word that is what he did.

There is another good paragraph talking about how it is the man behind the work that makes it art. Man Ray bought his first camera at a young age intending to just photograph his own work, when his exhibit in paris prooved to be a big hit he realised that he such set painting aside and persue a career in Photography.

The article 'Like a dream remembered' is about going back to painting which was Man Rays first passion. In the 1930's when his photography work was at high demand he produced a series of paintings that showed a return to his first passion but also a transition to a new artistic vision.
